Guwahati, Jan 10: Amid escalating tensions in regions hosting the last remaining prohibited insurgent group in Assam, Director General of Police (DGP) G P Singh has issued a warning to the public.
The advisory, conveyed through various media channels, cautions Assam’s youth against falling prey to militant recruitment efforts.
It strongly urges individuals residing in these volatile areas to relocate to safer places rather than jeopardizing their safety in unfamiliar and hazardous surroundings. The overarching message emphasizes safety and encourages people to stay away from conflict zones for their protection.
The United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), a banned organization, recently reported a drone attack on its camp in Myanmar, resulting in injuries to two members.
The group claims that three bombs were dropped, with two detonating and causing injuries, while the third failed to explode. ULFA-I alleges that the attack was carried out by Indian security forces, although no evidence has been presented to support this claim.

An official response from the Indian Army is awaited, and an army officer in Guwahati has stated that they were not aware of the alleged incident.
As the incident occurred in another country, officials suggest that the Ministry of External Affairs may possess more relevant data on the issue. Meanwhile, Assam Police has withdrawn the security coverage provided to ULFA Chief Paresh Baruah’s residence since 2000.
Assam’s DGP G P Singh’s warning comes at a critical juncture, with rising tensions in areas housing the last remaining prohibited insurgent group.
The cautionary message aims to prevent the youth from getting involved in militant activities and urges those residing in volatile regions to prioritize their safety.
ULFA-I’s report of a drone attack on its camp in Myanmar has added a layer of complexity to the situation. The group alleges Indian security forces’ involvement in the attack, pointing to the use of drones and the resulting injuries to its members.
However, without concrete evidence, the claims remain unverified, awaiting an official response from the Indian Army.
Given the incident’s occurrence in another country, officials suggest that the Ministry of External Affairs could provide more information on the matter. Simultaneously, Assam Police’s decision to withdraw security coverage from ULFA Chief Paresh Baruah’s residence signals a shift in the security landscape.
The alleged drone attack and subsequent developments have raised unanswered questions, and as the situation unfolds, ongoing developments may shed light on the accuracy of ULFA-I’s claims and the overall security dynamics in the region.
